document.write( "Question 540464: A right circular cylindrical vessel is exactly one-quarter full. If 7 liters of liquid are added, the vessel will be exactly three-fifths full. What is the total capacity of the vessel, in liters? \n" ); document.write( "
Algebra.Com's Answer #353711 by mananth(16946)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! let the total capacity of vessel be x\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Now it is x/4 full\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "7 liters are added\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "x/4 +7\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "x/4 +7 = 3x/5\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "x/4-3x/5 = -7\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "LCD = 20\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Multiply equation by LCD\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "5x-12x=20*-7 \n" ); document.write( "-7x=-140 \n" ); document.write( "/-7 \n" ); document.write( "x=20 \r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "the full capacity is 20 liters\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "m.ananth@hotmail.ca \n" ); document.write( " |
